PREFACE

Training is one oI the most important aspects oI a management student`s career.It strengthens the
theoretical concept oI a student by providing him/her practical knowledge.Every engineering
student has to undergo training Ior not less than 5 weeks in summer vacations,under the guidance
oI Sr. Engineers in order to become aware oI the real liIe enigineering situation.

To IulIill the said objectives,I undertook a summer training project at Bharat Heavy Electricals
Limited, 1hansi. uring the course oI training, I did a comprehensive study on the topic
POWER TRANSFORMERS.

In this project report I have put my best eIIorts to compile the data to the highest level oI
accuracy.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

In the successIul completion oI this project, I am indebted to countless people without whom the
success oI this project was uncertain.First oI all, I would like to convey my sincere thanks to Dr.
Druva Bhargav(Sr.Manager,Human Resource Department,BHEL,1hansi) who gave me the
opportunity to undergo this training.

In particular I express my deep regards to Dr. Santosh Mishra(Training Coordinator,Human
Resource Development,BHEL,1hansi) who had Iaith in me,whispered the words oI
encouragement and made helpIul suggestions Irom time to time.I wish every trainee may get a
project guide who is as cooperative,knowledgeable and supportive as Mishra Sir.

I thank all my Iriends Ior their angelic support,special thanks to those whose names I Iailed to
mention in this report.

And Iinally my heartIelt gratitude to my loving parents Ior enduring the late nights and clicking
keyboard.I want to remain in the debt oI all the people I have mentioned above.

The plant oI BHEL is equipped with most modern manuIacturing processing and
testing Iacilities Ior the manuIacture oI power, special transIormer and instrument transIormer,
iesel shunting locomotives and AC/C locomotives. The layout oI the plant is well streamlined
to enable smooth material Ilow Irom the raw material stages to the Iinished goods. All the Ieeder
bays have been laid perpendicular to the main assembly bay and in each Ieeder bay raw material
smoothly gets converted to sub assemblies, which aIter inspection are sent to main assembly bay.
The raw material that are produced Ior manuIacture are used only aIter thorough
material testing in the testing lab and with strict quality checks at various stages oI productions.
This unit oI BHEL is basically engaged in the production and manuIacturing oI various types oI
transIormers and capacities with the growing competition in the transIormer section, in 1985-86
it under took the re-powering oI ESL, but it took the complete year Ior the manuIacturing to
begin. In 1987-88, BHEL has progressed a step Iurther in under taking the production oI AC
locomotives, and subsequently it manuIacturing AC/C locomotives also.

BAY-9:
In this bay power transIormer are assembled. AIter taking diIIerent input Irom diIIerent
bays 0-9 assembly is done
!ower transIormer is used to step and step down voltages at generating and sub-stations.
There are various ratings 11KV, 22KV, manuIactured, they are
a) Generator transIormer.
b) System &
c) AutotransIormer.
A transIormer in a process oI assemblage is called a job. The design oI the transIormer is
done by the design deptt. & is unique oI each job; depends on the requirement oI
customer. The design department provides drawing to the assembly shop, which
assembles it accordingly.
The step involved in assembly are:
1. Core building
2. Core LiIting.
